I agree, I have been Geocaching less than three years. I started after watching a short 30 minute show on PBS TV. Oh BOY was I in for a surprise. What I found was empty cans and wet logs. Even the ones under lamp posts had wet logs. It was the ones that took me to cool places that kept me in the game. I try to place quality logs and do maintenance on the ones I do have out there so others don’t suffer. I even hid one for the kids called the good news. (GC3JNK4) because of all the sorry Caches around here.

The only way I will log a puzzle is if it's solved by a friend. I prefer being out side rather than on a computer figuring out a puzzle.

Just like arm chair logging

What is the Box “Related Web Page”: on the create cache page used for. Someone please give me an example of a page that has utilized this box.

I was going to move my cache but have decided to wait 60 days and if no Cache is published in that area I will re-submit my cache.

How long can a reviewer hold a location and not allow a cache be published there? Someone supposedly is working on a puzzle cache in the location i have placed a cache.

Q: What is the DGS? Is their purpose to encourage creative out-in-the-woods non-micro geocaches? Or is it to promote ignoring the guidelines, facilitate armchair logging of caches, share lists of puzzle cache solutions, and share lists of trackables? A: yes. Q: What does it mean to be a Dirtbag? A: It means many things to me, and probably different things to different people. I like the Comradery Of belonging to a group of people who accept me for who I am. You don’t need to fit in with these people; if you did not fit in they would have never voted you in. I like the fact that I can call someone and say hey I’m in a tunnel 500 feet under a city looking for a nano and can’t find it, do you know where it should be? Most of the time they do! I like the fact that to us rules are just guidelines (I have always lived like this) I love that we have a nationwide network of chapters that is still growing. Dirtbags love to Geocache. When I placed 33 caches in a series 130 miles long it was Dirtbags who found them all in one day! Dirtbags act like elitist because they are! Q: Do Dirtbags hate micros? A: Most of the time yes, but for me it’s not so much the container I dislike it’s the placement. Think about the last 10 micros you have found and tell me how awesome it was. Can you? I recently rode my bike 20 miles on the American tobacco trail where there are Geocaches every 530 feet and about 98% are micros hanging from a tree branch. After about 10 miles I was so board with micros I quit caching and just rode. You have literally hundreds of acres at your disposal to hide caches and you place a micro in da bush? I don’t think only a Dirtbag would consider this lame. I recently hid a micro (forgive me father for I have sinned) on the end of an abandoned pier. At low tide you can walk up to it and grab it, High tide is another story. You see in this case not lame. So I don’t think all Dirtbags dislike micros. If I’m going to talk junk it’s probably going to be about a micro in da bush! Why? Because talking junk is just plain fun! Q: Do Dirtbags Log Caches from their couch? A: Some do, some don’t. Personally I dislike logging the ones I find so armchair logging for me is out. I did log one of HB’s caches as a joke one time all I used to find it was my crystal ball. I have seen many Geocachers do this sort of thing, people are so hungry for some sort of status they will do all sorts of nutty things. I was at an event last year and the people running it wanted to hit the mega status so bad they would have sold their soul to get that status, and they did in my opinion. They were running around asking people in the park to come over and sign there event log trying to hit the magic number. I even signed my dog on their log just to see if they would let me and they did! Personally I find the whole thing hilarious. I think most people who do the armchair logging thing do it more as a joke than anything else. If you get banned from the website for a year for logging hundreds of caches in a single day you are my hero. Q: What are DGS the videos about? A: They are spoofs. The first video I saw before I was acquainted with DGS I was thinking what a dick head thing to do. The video involved a ladder and moving someone’s cache. As I watched other videos by this crew it became apparent to me that they are all in fun. They are Poking fun at each other and Geocaching as a whole. Q: Do Dirtbags care what you think about them? A: no. Q: should you pre judge a Dirtbag? A: No. Go find ten DGS hides then attend three DGS events. And then feel free to judge us, you may be surprised. Q: Is Lukedrywalker a member of DGS? A: You bet your sweet a** he is!

What happened to the add photo when logging a cache?

How do you add a photo to a page when logging a find. wasn't there a icon for that?

Woohoo. Found one on a hot muggy day. I have fished and hiked in this area for years, and still took me a hard 30 minutes to find this one. While stomping threw the thick thorny underbrush I stepped in a culvert pipe buried in the ground. When I looked down to where my leg had disappeared to I saw something move. My brain screamed SNAKE!!!! My eyes saw turtle. I freed the turtle; there was no way he was going to make it out of a two foot deep concrete pipe. Any way had fun finding this one! This was my day.
